OVERNIGHT RICE FOR GOOD FRIED RICE

When I was a little girl, I loved to watch my late father cook. Believe me, he was good at it and the dishes he whipped up were simply delicious. I would be his assistant by helping pass him the salt, sauces and other ingredients. While cooking, he'd give me tips on cooking.

One thing my dad taught me is that a good Chinese fried rice calls for overnight rice. Day old rice will do just fine but it seems that rice that is 2 or 3 days old is even better. My Malay friends tell me that the same goes for them when they fry rice.

Recently I ordered Petai Fried Rice at a stall and found that the cook had used freshly cooked rice. Now the outcome of this is that the fried rice was wet and gloppy.
